RE: Penicillin: The Root Of Antibiotics

in #science6 years ago

do we know that one of the most common antibiotics used today for treatment of most gram negative bacterial infection is produced from bacteria? Yes!!! It is. We are going to be looking at the Penicillin drug synthesized from Penicillium spp.

Are you sure Penicillium sp. is a bacterium? I think it is a fungus, not a bacterium. Please double check it.

Sort:  

Though Penicillum sp. is a fungus but the aim of the post is to let the common man understand the concept hence the use of bacterium in the post. if you read further you would see that the organism was referred to as a mold in the write up
